उत्तर

Steps of oonstruction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB of 9 cm.
(ii) Draw perpendicular bisector LM of AB. LM is the required locus.
Proof:
(i) Take any point on LM say P.
(ii) Join PA and PB.
Since, Plies on the right bisector of line AB.
Therefore, Pis equidistant from A and B.
i.e. PA = PB
Hence, Perpendicular bisector of AB is the locus of all points which are equidistant from A and B.
